While I may be biased since I'm included here, but a very solid curation of tips. I love the through line of providing solutions, and not over complicating things.
Very good post with realistic, practical tips and advice.
But again, it's a situation where it's easier said than done for us beginners.
My difficulties begin right from Step One with your advice to “turn eyeballs into followers.”
Although I am relatively new to substack and, indeed, the social media in general, I have written a number of notes that I humbly thought were reasonably good.
However, I have gotten very little engagement from them. In other words, no ”eyeballs.”
On a positive note, the engagements that I have gotten have been very positive and complimentary.
I am doing quite a bit of reading on substack on how to get an audience through notes, but apparently I'm not quite adept at implementing the information that I get therein.
The good news is I'm determined to keep going, learning, and putting that knowledge to practical use and become a better writer on social media.
Posts like yours should prove very helpful in that regard.
Hi Bob! What you say is definitely true - getting visibility in the first place is a different challenge. And to be completely honest, the "quality" of your Notes sometimes doesn't play that much of a role. Substack is a social platform and the more connections you have, the easier it'll typically be to get in front of more people.
At the very beginning, being part of communities where writers support each other can be a great help.
Apart from that, it can also be hard to judge your own work. Especially if you're used to a different form of writing (like in your case). Getting feedback from someone with a different perspective can be really useful.
Feel free to send me a private message if you'd like to explore how we could help you with all those things!

Thanks, Landon! Appreciate it :)
This post offers a practical framework for writers navigating the complexities of monetizing their craft.
The idea of solving your own problems first is compelling—it reframes expertise as something lived rather than studied.
The funnel system is a reminder that audience growth isn’t random but deeply intentional.
It makes me wonder: how many creators struggle because they lack clarity on the steps outlined here?
There’s a lot to unpack and apply, particularly around the simplicity of structuring an offer.
Love this. Just getting started on substack but really drawn to it.
